Hi, I am using memcached server version 1.4.4 on Linux and spy memcached client version 2.4.2
I performed a test by storing and retrieving objects of size 1.8MB and 3.6MB. I am able to retrieve the objects successfully without any error. My load tests show some timeout exceptions when memcached server is under heavy load, which is expected. Memcached wiki website states that one of the reasons we should not be using memcached is if the object size exceeds 1MB. I want to know if this is a hard limit, or just that memcached is not efficient in that scenario due to the storage model. The reason for my question is that I have just one object(which is a list) which might exceed 1MB in future, but currently, it is not exceeding the limit. I considered storing it in several chunks and using bulkGet() to retrieve the multiple small objects. The response times are not efficient in case of bulkGet(). I should not be using memcached for this object( and should look into other caching mechanisms) but dont want to change the implementation till next release. Please suggest. Thanks,
